  Driving up to the stunning venue I was really impressed with the immaculate grounds and the scenery.

  This was well maintained throughout the stay, with the grass being cut daily! If only the same amount of effort was placed inside to make everything as good on the inside as the outside... The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have had the displeasure of trying to sleep in. And this is coming from someone who could literally sleep on a log if given half the chance. Sorry but I really think this should be addressed. I understand regulations are there for a reason, but having an emergency LED green light, then with REFLECTIVE lampshades... oh the joys along with a bed that you can't get comfortable in. Both me and little one struggled with this. The curtains in the cottage we stayed in didn't even cover the whole length of the window. I'm not a bath person and love a great shower, but there was no chance of this at all, no pressure enough to even try and swill off sand after coming back from the beach, let alone a hose long enough to even reach down to your legs. Added with the tedious task of having to work with a limited supply of hot water from an immersion tank and a bath small enough for only half of my body to fit in, there was no relaxation after a long day exploring the beautiful beaches around. Children's playground consisted of 2 swings (1 baby and 1 single seat), a set of monkey bars and a few balance beams... bit of another disappointment really, it was such a good space and could be so much more! I can't fault the staff who were brilliantly welcoming and the entertainment at night was enough for what the park offered. The pool was clean and changing rooms were well managed by the staff. Overall, the place was clean and tidy, both the cottage and the reception/ entertainment areas. In saying all this, I would think about booking again if the cabins were maybe better than the cottages. And whilst I totally get that they are "cottages", I just felt with all the maintenance outside, surely some of this effort could be used to update the inside of the cottages?

  My husband & I had the most wonderful stay at The Coach House even though the weather was on the damp side.

  It is located at the end of a pretty lane/drive which was a mass of bluebells, dry stone walls covered in mosses, with rabbits & squirrels running freely. This property is extremely well equipped & has been well thought out to maximise the space & comfort of those staying. The cleanliness was outstanding, all the furnishings & equipment are of a high standard. Everything is tastefully put together, no add hock / second best here ! The little patio is a delight to sit out for that coffee or glass of something, & listen to the birds singing ( there is some traffic noise, but nothing can be done about that ). The owner is friendly, a mine of knowledge & only to happy to help in anyway ( he also lives next door, which is convenient should there be any problems ). On arrival, he had laid out delicious pastries to take with our tea. There really wasn’t anything that was too much trouble, he really cared we enjoyed our stay ! There were plenty of DVDs, games, puzzles, books, & the Wifi was excellent . Highly recommend this property !

  Dick cottage was a wonderful place to stay with everything a family could need and with very accommodating hosts.

  The delights of Cornwall are easily accessible and Bodmin provided us with a lot of interesting things to do. I would highly recommend the cottage (and my wife has all ready done so, to Her family). For the owners, I have only 2 minor areas which could be improved upon. 1. Applying some sort of frosting or a one way mirrored film to the window in the bathroom would allow daylight in and maintain privacy. and 2. The dining room table was difficult to sit at if you are tall, I was unable to sit at the table and fit my legs under as well. I realise few people are more than 6’4’’ but a different kitchen/dining room table would make for more comfortable meal times.

  We stayed at The Coach House while visiting family in Bodmin for Christmas.

  Its location was ideal. We received a warm welcome from John; afternoon tea was laid on the table and bubbly awaited us in the fridge. He popped in periodically as we were having problems with the sound on the TV following a storm. Nothing was too much trouble. Even a storm lantern was provided following power cuts. The cottage is extremely well equipped with a full set of kitchen appliances and all the utensils and crockery you could wish for. Beds and sofas/chairs were very comfortable with plenty of books and games to help us relax. With its efficient heating, we felt very warm and cosy in the cottage. We look forward to returning.

  A wonderful little property, perfectly placed to explore Cornwall.

  Once you drive down the short farm track to the cottage you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere yet you have all the amenities you could want within a 5 minute drive. It is very well appointed and John is a fantastic host... extremely welcoming and helpful yet unobtrusive, and the cream tea he provides on arrival is a lovely touch. It provides the perfect getaway whether you want a peaceful relaxing break or to spend your time exploring. It is also extremely dog friendly, with some great walks pretty much on the doorstep, so our little dog enjoyed his stay as well! I can't recommend The Coach House highly enough.
